it's a tough to be honest. People seem to be pissed off on craigslist LOL. I am selling the old dinghy and i got maybe 30 emails on it, so far one person showed up and this dude is asking me if it's safe to go out on the ocean on a 9 foot plastic dinghy with a 2hp engine.... UHH NO.
So I get another email from a guy all pissed off cause i hadn't responded within 20 minutes to his second email, this is what the guy writes back:
Hmm, now who loses? I'll still sell the dinghy, but he will be without a cheap dinghy LOL, which he must have needed pretty bad if he changed his in in less than 24 hours.
I do seem to get a lot of morons off ebay as well, if I put up a no reserve aucion and put in the title "no reserve" i get 10 or 15 emails asking me what the reserve is or if it has a reserve. I'm to the point where unless the item is over a hundred bucks or so I'll just throw it the **** out rather then deal with the ********, morons and generally unhappy people that seem to roam the earth.

I guess you weren't serious about selling your motor and boat. I would have been there today, money in hand, if you had responded to my last e-mail. Oh well, you snoozed and you done loosed. Ain't interested no more.

Im more of a buyer from there, by that I mean I got one car that was a home run.
I put some furniture and television on there once, that was not worth it.
I ended up giving the tv to my friend's son and the furniture I gave to my neighboor.
they wanted me to do any of the following:
pick them up from the train station
let them come at 10:00 at night
come on sunday at 7am
deliver it for them
set it up in the house for them
and the best:
take payments on it!
